General Notes: Husband - William Eyster Watters
He began life on the island [Davis' Island? Neville Island?] as a gardener without any capital; by industry and speculation in outside property he finally owned a fine farm of 110 acres. In 1868 the property was divided, his son William taking his share and beginning for himself. He also had five lots in Glenfield, some in Emsworth, and fifteen hundred acres of timber, coal and mineral land in West Virginia. Mr. Watters enlisted Aug. 3, 1862, in Co. K, 123d P. V. I., Army of the Potomac; he participated in the battles of Bull run, Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, and was discharged May 13, 1863.
